This was an alright book. I think that they missed the mark by not killing off Jamie in the book because it didn't feel realistic with him having a terminal disease and magically getting better enough to travel. I also think that Ella had the right to be pissed off that he kept his illness from her and she fell in love with him.

It has its moments

I appreciate this book as an easy beach read that sometimes transports you to Oxford. Unfortunately, it’s a bit unbelievable and trite at times, which breaks the illusion.
